Rule 5’ers Update

Miguel Gonzalez is lost to the Red Sox for the year after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Last December, the Angels lost three minor league pitchers in the Rule 5 draft. Miguel Gonzalez was selected by the Red Sox, Robert Mosebach by the Phillies, and Darren O’Day by the Mets.

Rule 5 requires that the drafting team keep the player on the major league roster for a year, or offer him back to his old club for $25,000. The only exception is if the player is on the disabled list.
